Trip purpose:

Overpriced, but great location

It was really lovely to be a quick walk away from the beach, but for as fancy as this hotel looks on the outside, it wasn't worth the money. Wi-Fi was a daily cost of $15 for basic speeds, parking was another $15, and the room was unimpressive and looked like a motel on the inside. I will say the balcony views were fairly good, though, and it was nice to be so near to a lot of restaurants and bars.
Next time, I think I'll just rent a vacation home on the north shore.

Trip purpose:

good choice, great value

The hotel got a good location, only 5 min to walk to waikiki beach, 10 min to a shopping center. There's also convenient stores and public traffic stations nearby. In addition, the room is very tidy and cozy. The staff at the front desk is also very nice. They arranged a two double bed room for my family, which is exactly what i request when i booked the hotel. Overall, if you want to save money but don't want to feel uncomfortable, getway is a wise choice!

great time

Very good experience on our honeymoon at the gateway, will be staying here again for our next trip. Staff was great and also upgraded our room to a two lanai ocean view unit for a super deal. Room was clean and fresh with newer decor. Location is also great for being at the starting point for all the shops and frontage to Wiakiki beach. Also 20 steps to the trolly bus line, which is a very efficient way to get around to various activates. This hotel is a aure bargain aftwr being in others in the area. They arw fewer amenities than others close by but your not visiting hawaii to stay in a hotel. Will recommend to anyone.

Plenty of great eateries inclusing the shrimp trucks, super fresh and tasty.

definitely needs updating

very old hotel. lobby and elevators have been updated, but that's it. pictures that they show online were not an example of the actual rooms. bathrooms are probably original. hotel staff was very nice, but not very informative. even the lady at the information desk gave us incorrect information. we had to go across the street to a different hotel's concierge to get the info we needed. very disappointed

Trip purpose:

Noisy, falling apart dated hotel

Maybe back in the day this might have been a decent place, But everything about it is old and falling apart. You need to guess what floor your on, the elevators show 3rd floor at lobby. The Restaurant / Bar is a complete dirty dive and no reason to ever go into it. No matter what floor your on, the street noise sounds like it is in your room.
Oh, the still have old tube TV's and terrible reception.
Also beware if you book online, When you get there they want a $300 deposit as if there is anything you could do to worsen this place !
